Sundial Clock @ Tri-Chandra College

Sundial Clock या भनौँ सौर्य घडि लाई विश्व को सबैभन्दा पुरानो घडि प्रविधि मानिन्छ । नेपाल मा पनि, काठमाडौँ घन्टाघर सँगै, छेउ मा सौर्य घडि रहेको छ । सौर्य घडि भएर पनि, अहिले कुनै उपयोग मा भने आएको छैन । एउटा भुलेको इतिहास झैँ भएर, त्रिचन्द्र कलेज को छेउ मा झोक्राएर बसिराको भान पर्छ । झार र घाँसहरु ले छोपिएको, अनि भएको घडि को पनि संरक्षण नगरिएको देख्दा दिक्क लागेर आउँछ ।

'अजबगजब ब्लग' का नविन सर ले मैले घन्टाघर को फोटोहरु राखेको बेला भन्नु भएको थियो, त्याँ Sundial Clock छ । अनि म दोहोरिएर गएको थिँए खोज्न, Sundial Clock लाई । तर यस्को अवस्था देख्दा चाँहि विरक्त नै लाग्यो । लाग्यो, हामी केही कुरा पनि जोगाएर राख्न सक्दैनौँ । Sundial Clock को अवस्था मैले भन्नु भन्दा पनि, तल को फोटो मा हेरेर बुझ्नु होला है ।

खासमा, Sundial Clock मा समय कसरी हेरिन्छ भनेर कौतुहलता होला, तल को फोटोलाई नियालेर हेर्नुस् त्यहाँ विभिन्न कोणहरु मा धर्काहरु बनाइएका छन्, रोमन मा १ देखि १२ लेखिएका छन् । अनि समय हेर्नलाई चाँहि सूर्यलाई आधार बनाइन्छ । सूर्य जता छ, त्यस्कै आधारमा घडि हेर्दै यति बज्यो भनेर भन्ने गरिदोँरहेछ । Sundial Clock मा सुइ हुने, अनि सूर्य को प्रकाश त्यो सुइमा पर्दा छायाँ जति अंकमा पर्छ, त्यति बजेको भनेर भन्ने गरिन्छ । सबै कुरा ठिक भएपनि, रात मा चाँहि घडि हेर्न मिल्दैन है । तर यहाँ देखाइको फोटो मा त्यस्तो सुइ देखिँदैन, तर सुइ थियो होला भन्ने अनुमान चाँहि गर्न सकिन्छ ।

Sundial Clock को बारेमा इन्टरनेटमा खोज्दा यस्तो कुरा फेला पारे हैँ ।

The oldest type of clock is a sundial clock, also called a sun clock. They were first used around 3,500 B.C. (about 5,500 years ago). Sundials use the sun to tell the time. The shadow of the sun points to a number on a circular disk that shows you the time.

A sundial is a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. In common designs such as the horizontal sundial, the sun casts a shadow from its style (a thin rod or a sharp, straight edge) onto a flat surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow-edge progressively aligns with different hour-lines on the plate. Such designs rely on the style being aligned with the axis of the Earth's rotation. Hence, if such a sundial is to tell the correct time, the style must point towards true North (not the north or south magnetic pole) and the style's angle with horizontal must equal the sundial's geographical latitude.

    What the rest of the world was doing at 1911 when the first (?) sun-dial was established? That is the key question.

Shirish Ko Phool : Review & Download

One of the finest book ever written in Nepali literature....Shirish Ko Phool and one of my personal favorite. I have read this novel over four times or say five times..and each time I finish the novel I feel pang and it hangs on my head for so many days. Why guilt is so painful that made such a strong woman called Sakambari to suicide..or die…?? The novel has a wonderful language..the simplest of all. When I had read it for the first time..to tell the truth that I hadn’t really understood the novel, I felt the love story in it and I could not understand the passion in the novel.. But this day I may say I am able to figure out the passion and the feelings of the author.. I really appreciate the wonderful story, the plot the real setting, the real characters…and the situation of the novel till it ends. The pain of running away from the feelings and passion. When the Suyogbir says.."Ma glass ma bhagchu” ( I forgot the line exactly…). The feeling is that we run away from pai...

कुखुरी जालैमा [Photo Story]

एउटी रातो रातो रङ कि कुखुरी हस्याङफस्याङ गरि कुद्दै छे ! तर बिचरी कूखुरी जालो मा परिछे, पसल तिर चाउचाउ र चिजबल जस्ता कुराहरु झुन्ड्याएर राख्ने जालो त कुखुरी को घाँटि मा झुन्डिएछ । कुखुरी आफैँ देखि तर्सि तर्सि हिँडिरा’कि छे ! पर बाट कुद्दै आएर कुखुरी ले मेरो क्यामरा अघि पोज दिइ, तपाई ले नि देख्नुहुन्छ नि, त्यो कुखुरी को घाँटि मा कसरी जाली अड्किएको छ या भनौँ त्यो जालो मा कुखुरी कसरी अड्केकी छे ! सायद डर लागेर होला, त्यसले परै बाट आफू जालि मा अड्किएकी छु भनेर देखाइ । मैले उसको पोज अलि नमिलेको झैँ गरेपछि, कुखुरी रोड को छेउतिर लागि र टाउको यस्सो थोरै फर्काएर देखाइ, गज्जब को पोज भयो भनेझैँ गरि मैले फेरि फोटो खिचेँ । यसलाई नि मोडलिङ मा साह्रै ‘इन्ट्रेस्ट’ रहेछ । उसलाई डर कम भएछ क्यारे, मलाई हेरिरही, सायद यो जाली मेरो घाँटि बाट निकालिदेउ भनी, मैले त्यस्तै बुझेँ । मेरो प्रतिक्रिया के हुन्छ भनेर हेर्दै, उ एकछिन रोड को बिचमा आएर टक्क रोकिइ । मैले फेरि फोटो खिँचे । उसलाई मैले हानी गर्दैन भन्ने पक्का झैँ भएछ । तर पनि शंकाले हेर्दैछे, कतै म कुखुरीलाई खाइदिने त हैन, यो केटा ले । मैले उसको शंक...
